About this file
This document is a Roadway Soil Survey and Core Borings report prepared by Tierra South Florida, Inc. for the Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division's Public Works Department in West Palm Beach, Florida. The survey covers the Royal Palm Boulevard project extending from East University Drive to Riverside Drive in Coral Springs, Florida, a safety improvements initiative funded through Federal Highway Administration resources via the State of Florida Department of Transportation and Broward County Transportation Surtax Funds. The geotechnical investigation includes soil boring data collected in June 2024 and April 2025, with survey stations ranging from 12+00 to 18+00 and 52+40 to 59+40. Six initial borings (AB-1 through AB-6) were completed during the June 2024 survey period, with two additional deep borings (BHP-1 and BHP-2) conducted in April 2025 to depths of 20 feet. The document was digitally signed and sealed by Professional Engineer Ramakumar Vedula (License No. 54873) on July 8, 2026.
The soil survey identifies four primary soil strata throughout the project area: topsoil (A-8), light brown sand with limerock (A-2-4), light brown to brown sand (A-3), and gray silty sand (A-2-4). The report provides detailed AASHTO classifications, laboratory test results including moisture content, organic content, sieve analysis, Atterberg limits, and corrosion testing data with chloride, sulfate, pH, and resistivity measurements. Material recommendations indicate that stratum 1 topsoil should be stripped from proposed widening and pavement areas, while strata 2 through 4 are suitable for subgrade and embankment construction when utilized according to Standard Plans Index 120-001. Groundwater was not encountered at the boring locations. The survey includes precise GPS coordinates for all boring locations, Standard Penetration Test (SPT) values, and notes that strata boundaries are approximate and material variations between borings should be anticipated during construction.
